Well the tournament could be for a title shot, so Roman could smash the winner in 30 seconds.

Would there be questions asked if nobody won (which sounds likely) as WWE could have booked around everyone’s predictions?

Given the fact that this is scripted they would need a notary to validate the bracket prior. Only way it could be legal.

Injuries could play into it too which would mess up the bracket. It's not like the NCAA where a player can get hurt but the team still moves on. Someone planned to go deep could blow out their knee and the company would need to decide if it's an either automatic bye or if someone else gets to wrestle in their place.

Anyway, I'm all for large scale tournaments. New Japan bases pretty much their whole year around tourneys (G1, New Japan Cup, Super Juniors, World Tag League, Junior Tag) and it sets up so many storylines and future matches.

Agreed. I think it would be pretty interesting who is the most skilled and toughest outside of the bullshit backstage politics. You'd have to keep Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley out of the tournament but perhaps you could run the tournament with pro wrestlers on the one side and then Lesnar vs Lashley and then the two winners could meet up to fight.

New PPV Idea: World Title Gauntlet
PPV starts out with a randomly selected 9 wrestlers who are all contenders for the world title (or whatever). Starts with a one-on-one. Winner then faces #3 in a one-on-one until we get to #8 and #9 where it turns into a Triple Threat with the winner facing the Champ in the Main Event in an Iron-Man match. Then you get a few lower title matches in a row before the main event. You could do a lot of variations on this, such as #8 or #9 faking an injury and stealing the win without expending much energy, or the the Champ's stable taking out the competitors in the other matches forcing the winner of the gauntlet to immediately fight for the title, or you could even hold the gauntlet as the second to last match requiring the winner to go against a fresh champ. It's basically a reverse Money in the Bank cash-in and I'm sure something like this has been done before. You could also have it be the one PPV where the Money in the Bank contract cannot be used, or have it used after the match only for it to be reversed Monday because of the fine print clause which would be a great moment. You could do a lot with this simple set-up and the month or two build to the event in which people actually give a shit about winning matches to be part of the Gauntlet. Not to mention last-minute substitutes, shenanigans, wrestlers taking bribes, etc. Which is why the WWE won't do it, because it actually would give wrestlers the opportunity to shine. |
